Meeting with Offaly in Tullamore has attracted TG4 cameras for a game between teams with potential and excitement.
Declan Bogue THOSE THAT MAKE the decisions around where the TG4 wagons point towards on a Sunday could have kept it very local this weekend.
When those in Antrim went after Davy to take the senior team, they were well aware that more spotlight was going to be shone in their direction. Well, here it is. There might only have been two games played by some of the counties, but division 1B already has the appearance of a dogfight. Offaly sit astride the top, with an opening day draw against Carlow before handing Laois a nine-point defeat in Portlaoise last weekend.Fitzgerald himself had been up in the stands for the first game, a touchline ban the legacy of his protests last summer when Clare were awarded the 65 that Mark Rogers converted to beat his then-Waterford team on a boiling day in Ennis.
Consider that the Antrim county final was played on 20 October. It had been well signposted that Storm Ashley was coming in and was going to make life miserable for a day. With rough accounting, for some that was amounting to three 9k runs a week. Some found that a bit taxing on their ‘down’ days so have broken it into an extra running session each week.Two weeks out from the start of the league, they took a trip down to Munster. They played a Limerick selection on a Friday night which was a long way from their first-team.
Others, such as Joe Maskey, Ryan McCambridge and Eoin O’Neill have returned. Gerard Walsh had spent a few weeks in Japan and is now back, playing some of the Dublin game and all of the Westmeath win.
